CryTek: Wii U is 'Minimum' As Powerful as the Xbox 360

Here's something gamers never thought they'd see: CryTek praising a Nintendo console for its power.
Cevat Yerli, head of CryTek, had this to say about Nintendo's upcoming console:

"From my perspective, I do not understand the public's concerns that the Wii U is weaker than the PS3 and 360. … That I cannot see. From my perspective the Wii U is minimum as powerful as the Xbox 360."

Yerli bases this on having seen the Wii U run CryEngine 3, which Yerli, for obvious reasons, is fairly gung-ho about.

Does this mean CryTek is developing for the Wii U? Not yet, according to Yerli; the company simply has too much on its plate right now. He does, however, note that another company is developing a game for the Wii U using CryEngine 3, who he refers to as a "respected developer", and that their game will be announced later this summer.

We'll be interested to see this game and how it runs on the Wii U hardware. Just how powerful the Wii U actually is remains a mystery; we haven't seen how far it can be pushed yet.
